MOSCOW - Chinese President Jiang Zemin traveled to Moscow on Sunday for an informal summit with Russian President Boris Yeltsin that will focus on expanding cooperation between the former Cold War rivals. A main issue at today's meeting will be lagging commerce between the two countries. Trade fell 10 percent last year to $6.1 billion, and the two want to raise the total to $20 billion by 2000.
